Paw Patrol: Brit sniffer dogs deployed a to find boats used by people smugglers<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Three British sniffer dogs are being deployed in the fight against Channel smuggling gangs<\/a> at one of the world’s busiest land borders, between Bulgaria and Turkey.<\/p>\n

Labrador Luna, springer spaniel Callie and a springer-cocker spaniel mix Sprocket, will detect small boat equipment which the trafficking gangs<\/a> try to sneak into Europe. They are trained by the National Crime Agency to sniff out the rubber of people smugglers’ dinghies hidden in lorries.<\/p>\n

The dogs<\/a> hope to build on the success of the UK-trained German <\/a>short-haired pointer Adele<\/a>, who helped Bulgarian police to intercept 48kg of cocaine at the border last week.<\/p>\n

Minister for Europe, Stephen Doughty, announced the new support during meetings in Sofia on Thursday with the new Bulgarian Government which took up office last week.<\/p>\n
